Question

Gram negative bacilli are often treated with O penicillin G 0 vancomycin. O aminoglycosides O synercid isoniazid. QUESTION 12 The drug used for several protozoan infections is O nystatin. O griseofulvin. O amphotericin B O sulfa drugs. O metronidazole. QUESTION 13 Antimicrobics effective against a wide variety of microbial types are termed O antibiotics. O narrow-spectrum drugs. O semisynthetic drugs O synthetic drugs. O broad-spectrum drugs. QUESTION 14 A "shotgun approach to antimicrobial therapy involves O giving a narrow spectrum drug o culturing the pathogen and identifying it O performing the disk diffusion assay O using a broad spectrum drug so that the chance of killing the pathogen is greater. O using antiviral and antibiotic drugs in combination. QUESTION 15 All of the following could be reasons why antimicrobic treatment fails except the inability of the drug to diffuse into the infected body compartment O a mixed infection where some of the pathogens are drug resistant. O not completing the full course of treatment O a disk diffusion test showing pathogen sensitivity to the antimicrobic
